So you've decided to continue
your education at a community college, university, technical school,
or other training program. That could mean tuition, books, housing,
and maybe a new computer and some software. Not to mention the incidentals
like clothing, video games, CDs, and pizza!
How are you going to pay for it all? Maybe mom and dad are kicking
in, but you may still need some help. Typical forms of college financing
include: scholarships, internships, loan programs, and federal aid
programs.
Every year, more than 7 million college students receive financial
aid. Your chances of getting financial aid depend on your financial
need, your background, and the occupation you plan on entering.
You may be eligible, and you don't need to be a straight-A student
or star athlete to qualify. In fact, you might be surprised at the
programs which are based on ethnic background, religious affiliation,
your parents' occupations, yours or your parents' military affiliation,
your major, and even physical and learning disabilities.
The links below can help you learn how to get financial support
for the education and training you need as well as identify sources
of financial aid.
